But when taught properly, no, safe sex education doesn’t encourage sex. Most good classes educate that condoms are very reliable but not entirely foolproof. In my personal opinion, it would be quite helpful if instead of focusing on penetrative vaginal intercourse as the end-all, be-all goal, we taught the various types of outercourse, too- the ones that won’t result in pregnancy (like oral sex, dry humping, digital stimulation, etc., etc.). But apparently parents are too worried that “giving kids those ideas” will result in them trying them . . . without realizing that the kids are having sex and getting pregnant when they don’t want to because of, say, a faulty condom while having intercourse.

Hope that helps!

Then I went to the States (Texas.. yeah, I know) where there were sex education classes. Sex was taboo. Nudity on television was censored. I saw at least 14 pregnancies in the 11 months I was there. Ages were 14-17.

Therefore with sex education It becomes a case that a little knowledge is dangerous.

Before sex education was adopted in schools far fewer teenagers indulged in indiscriminate sex so there were less instances of girls of school age becoming pregnant.

Now of course it is regarded as a badge of honour for many and a direct route to a considerable amount of social benefits.
